Since I'm a fifties and full skirt lover, I decided to go for the ''pro level'' getting a petticoat, so my full circle skirts don't look overwhelmed anymore. Let's face it: it's a bit weird, but I think this style makes an outfit very different to anyone else's. It was fun to see how some people on the street looked at me as I was a green little alien walking around with a petticoat, but I really liked how it were mostly surprise and curious faces, not in the bad way.

I think to get this old inspired but not outdated is essential to mix garments: classy and simple dress, a little bit more overdone makeup with soft colors, big and actual handbag in a bright color, some loose curls on my hair... It's about getting a shocking and fun outfit, but always without claiming for too much attention.

Her style has already been featured on this blog before. But for a long time ago I've been looking for check if her style was also easily ''wearable in real life''. Let's admit it: most of the garments featured on Gossip Girl come from awesome well known (and pricey) brands lot's of us can't afford.

So, if we only focus on the ''essence'' of Serena's outfits, we'll see it's pretty easy(and why not cheap?!) to create similar outfits to hers.

Let's go with this outfit: gold Emilio Pucci jacket, Tibi blue dress pants and Brian Atwood shoes. If we go to the basics and don't pay attention to the details, we'll see it's a very easy ''copy-paste'' outfit. Here's the recipe:

- Peacock blue dress pants

- Sparkly blazer

- White T-shirt

- Pair of heels

- Clutch or little handbag

Okay. My blazer is not the same color as hers but let's pretend it is, haha. To achieve her outfit, it would be also cute to do a soft but sparkly makeup, and maybe do a hair updo. I wore mine total straight, just to put some of my personal style to the outfit :)

When spring begins, I usually change my wearable and ''safe'' winter colors as red, black and white, for floral patterns, colorful and fun dresses. Nice weather and sun inspires me to mix colors and accessories. This time I decided to wear this Bernie Dexter green dress I bought on late summer. The pattern reminds me a jungle. With monkeys, lianas and tropical flowers. It's bright and fresh, like a bit wild somehow and the dress has a lovely full skirt.

I bought it via Modcloth, one of my favorite vintage inspired online stores ever, you know. At first sight it was pretty difficult to pair the outfit, but then I realized I could overdo it a little bit. I think it ended like a totally Spring hymn with the green bag and daisy necklace.

Sorry for not posting in a while! I've been living an absolutely crazy week with projects and exams to do. But then, calm returns and since spring weather is already here, we took some advantage of it and went to the town for the weekend.

Oh, by the way: thanks to all for the huge participation on the first SF giveaway! I'm very happy you liked it, and the great reception it has had. I'm hoping to be hosting more giveaways and contests like this on the future. Remember: the winner of the 20$ Romwe coupon will be up on the blog next Friday 19th!

Okay. About the outfit: keeping it simple, as I always try. This is not the classic ''total black'' biker outfit, but I added some touches of sparkwith the glitter slippers (such great purchase I did on sales with them!) and the Karen Millen bag. Basically I was looking for the comfy look, because we went to do some shoots around the town and the beach.

It's usually difficult for me to find the right pieces to add some fun to a serious outfit. As I usually like to wear a wide variety of plain colors and then put all my accesories in black or similar neutral colors, sometimes it gets bored to match the outfit like that.

It also gets difficult if you want to put on a cute dress that day, but its skirt goes below your knees, you feel like you must wear high heels but your feet hurt... In that case, this Clarks snake heels I bought last sales are the best option: high, chic and amazingly comfortable! The heel looks like a mirror, and the pattern on them is just awesome.

I added the curious/strange touch with this crochet necklace. Believe me: crochet, although it doesn't look like! I bought it some years ago on a local jewelry store, and never used it before because I didn't know what to match it with... And the dress comes from Williamsbourg Vintage, one of my favourite vintage shops in Madrid (remember this post or this post?)! Bought the last time I travelled there this Winter.

I have always found something magic in black dresses. I usually love them in all shapes and materials, no matter if it's lace or chiffon, long or short, full skirt or straight... Coco Chanel thought it already with the ''little black dress'': it is an essential piece on any woman's wardrobe, affordable, long-lasting and stylish.

This is not the typical ''LBD''. Specially because it's longer and has some dot details on the neck. I bought it on a great local second hand store called Madame Mim, which I discovered not so long ago and where you can find a wide variety of clothing from the 70's, 80's and 90's and lots of curious vintage objects. Here's a promotional video of it!

This kind of long black dresses made of heavy fabric have some issues: you must put some colors to the outfit, or it may be at risk of making you look like a widow... Let's admit it: total black is great, but sometimes is not correct at all. That's why I added the golden belt, the sparkly bag and the white jacket. I think all the pieces together make the outfit mature, but not gloomy.

Although I don't usually post outfits wearing jeans or pants in general, I must admit they're the most versatile garment I will never find on anyone's closet. They can be worn for classes with flats or sneakers, and with high heels and a cool top to rock it on a clubbing night. My favorites ever? The basic dark blue straight cut jeans, and also the skinny type.

I really wanted to change my mind with this outfit, and leave apart for a while the classy/mod inspired style I'm usually featuring here. Sometimes changes are great, isn't them? (Okay. Didn't forget at all my style with the crochet mittens and the scarf but... It was cold!) So this is my idea for a fun afternoon out with your friends/date: put on your jeans and high heels, take your biker leather jacket and add some accessories to get the ''rebel'' look. Do your best smokey eye makeup and mess up your hair. You'll succeed!
